Contextual Overview
8 The cherubim appeared to have the form of a man's hand under their wings. 9 And when I looked, there were four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub and another wheel by each other cherub; the wheels appeared to have the color of a beryl stone. 10 As for their appearance, all four looked alike--as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 11 When they went, they went toward any of their four directions; they did not turn aside when they went, but followed in the direction the head was facing. They did not turn aside when they went. 12 And their whole body, with their back, their hands, their wings, and the wheels that the four had, were full of eyes all around. 13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, "Wheel." 14 Each one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, the second face the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. 15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This was the living creature I saw by the River Chebar. 16 When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also did not turn from beside them. 17 When the cherubim [fn] stood still, the wheels stood still, and when one [fn] was lifted up, the other [fn] lifted itself up, for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the likeness of their faces [was] the same faces,.... Or their faces were like the same,
which I saw by the river of Chebar; which prove that the living creatures and the cherubim must be the same:
their appearance and themselves; were exactly the same there was no difference in their faces or in their bodies:
they went everyone straight forward; their motion as well as their form were alike; they kept one even course, looking right on, and their eyes right before them.
